ANCHORAGE
MUSEUM SHOW
Rie
Muñoz had a super original art exhibition
up in Anchorage with the artists reception
on December 1. Several hundred people came
to see Rie and her 45 originals and three
tapestries.
There
was a long line for Ries new book, The
King Island Journal, a photographic
and letter journal of Ries time on a
remote Eskimo island during 1951-52. The island
is now uninhabited and many of the descendants
live on the mainland in Nome, Alaska. This
book has received much acclaim in Alaska and
elsewhere. We contacted the King Island Community
and offered a book for every King Island family.
350 copies will be distributed at their next
meeting this month.
MUÑOZ
OFF TO CALIFORNIA
Like
a snowbird flying south for the winter, Rie
is making her annual migration to warmer climes.
During January and February Muñoz will
rent her small house overlooking the Pacific
Ocean and Morro Rock. From this base camp
shell take walks along the waterfront,
visit her brother and nephew, sketch and paint.
Rie will also rent a car for part of the time
and take excursions around the area. Without
all the distractions of book signings, moving
into her new digs, and Christmas festivities,
shell have more time to paint, which
she looks forward to.
